Abstract

ABSTRACT Recent studies have indicated that innovation-driven entrepreneurship is far more beneficial than traditional entrepreneurship in emerging economies. However, how to propel this type of entrepreneurship remains somewhat unclear. Thus, this study applied social cognitive theory to reveal how engaging communities of inquiry stimulate innovation-driven entrepreneurship in emerging economies. A hierarchical regression analysis on a sample of 207 Chinese entrepreneurs revealed that open community engagement predicts active innovation-driven entrepreneurship, whereas more focused community engagement hinders it. Both relationships are weakened when the entrepreneurial environment is seen as more munificent. The findings advance the entrepreneurship literature by adding understanding of the two kinds of community engagement and explicating their effects on innovation-driven entrepreneurship from the social interaction point of view. That constitutes practical guidance for entrepreneurs, and a basis for governments seeking to encourage innovation-driven entrepreneurship.

“集思广益”:探究社区的参与如何推动新兴经济体的创新驱动型创业

最近的研究表明，在新兴经济体中，创新驱动型创业远比传统创业更有益。然而，如何推动这种类型的创业仍然有些不清楚。因此，本研究运用社会认知理论揭示了参与探究社区如何在新兴经济体中激发创新驱动型企业家精神。对207名中国企业家样本的层次回归分析显示，开放的社区参与预示着活跃的创新驱动型创业，而更集中的社区参与则阻碍了创新驱动型创业。当创业环境被视为更为慷慨时，这两种关系都会减弱。本研究从社会互动的角度阐释了两种社区参与对创新驱动型创业的影响，进一步推动了创业文献的发展。这是对企业家的实际指导，也是政府寻求鼓励创新驱动型企业家精神的基础。

期刊介绍： Entrepreneurship and Regional Development is unique in that it addresses the central factors in economic development - entrepreneurial vitality and innovation - as local and regional phenomena. It provides a multi-disciplinary forum for researchers and practitioners in the field of entrepreneurship and small firm development and for those studying and developing the local and regional context in which entrepreneurs emerge, innovate and establish the new economic activities which drive economic growth and create new economic wealth and employment. The Journal focuses on the diverse and complex characteristics of local and regional economies which lead to entrepreneurial vitality and endow the large and small firms within them with international competitiveness.
